Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Murphy Salmon Jody Weekend Replay podcast, twelve of
our favorite moments from this past.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Week while gone for three ingredient breakfast ideas, and you
can add yours as well at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Trying to make school mornings easier for you.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
So if you're a meat eater, you will love this story. Yeah,
even if you're not, you I think you'll still find
it interesting. So Jody and I met our youngest daughter,
Phoebe is moving in to an apartment with some new roommates.
One of them it's a brother and sister. Great people,
and the brother is entering his first year of college.
So I'm guessing he's I don't know what, nineteen.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Months, although he seemed much older.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah. He carries himself, yeah, as an older soul. And
so this is actually the perfect example of that. I
don't know why he was. We were talking about how
the air fryer is a staple of every college, you know, apartment.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Le Phoebe was asking, you want me to bring an
air fry He, oh, I've got I've got.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
One, and so I his name is Cooper, and I
turned to him, I said, you know, Cooper. I said,
I don't know if you've heard. I've not tried this,
but there are some people that say a steak in
the air fryer is like off the charts good.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
His eyes well actually, and I.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Would have thought he would huh, I need to try that,
but he immediately said, nope, grill, that's I'm not doing anything.
Steaks can only be done on the grill. If you're
going to eat him right and you're gonna respect the meat,
you've got to you got to cook it on the grill.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Wow souls answer, yeah, exactly. I missed that part.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
You know, usually you would think it'd be cool, man,
When can we do it? And I still want to
try it myself. They say that it's like, you know,
with a fairly thick steak, you know, like twelve minutes
and you flip it a six minutes in and it supposedly.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Does it look right? Something about a steak has to look.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Right, sharpie and paint the lines on it.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
The first person that told me about it is that
they actually added some sort of oil coating or something
to it to help it brown a little bit better.
So it needed it needed that, but not much. I
mean it doesn't take a whole lot. I just you
know me, i'd worry about a fire hazard. That's a
big piece of meat inside of an air fryer. And
you know, an air fryer is nothing but an upside

(02:05):
down electric stove.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Welcome to Welcome to my world. People, Welcome for everybody kitchen.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
So that's why, honestly, that's why I haven't tried the
bacon thing in there, because I just don't want all
popping around withes inches away. Right, I'm sorry, I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
But there are people that swear by the air frier steak,
and we'll have to say, but I know one nineteen
year old who's not about it.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Oh it's so funny.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know. The one thing that I did and enjoyed
it in the airfryer with a fried shrimp. Remember, but
it took a lot of time. They were not as
it was not fried. It was air fried, so it
was really better for you. But honestly, yeah, it was a.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Lot, a lot of trouble.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well, if it's something you want to travel yourself, you
can get the method that I saw for doing an
air frier steak at Murphy Salmon Jody dot Com.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Sam have you ever really noticed pregnancy glow in women?
I know Murphy has and does on the regular. No,
you've never seen it.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Maybe I haven't. I just didn't notice. You know, I
was a different person back then. I didn't notice the
glow there.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Okay, I'm not talking about the women that you were
expecting with. I'm saying women in general who are pregnant.
Do you notice the glow?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I don't, Okay, No, different people have different sensitivity. Emily,
who I work out with, is she's expecting her first
child and she's got the pregnancy glow. And do you
know what, before she even told me that she was expecting,
it's like that, there's this. I couldn't come.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
He's got the radar.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
But it was the glow. Yeah, I love it. It's
the sweetest thing.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
It is a sweet, sweet thing.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
And since we were talking about the other day, I
started reading about it because I remember being told I
had the glow, not by you, Sam, obviously when I
was pregnant.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I've told you many times. You had the glove for
both of her girls showing.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, it's increased blood flow. It really happens. It's a radiant, radiant,
luminous look sometimes a flushed sort of look that women
have when they're pregnant. It's your blood volume has increased
by fifty percent. Your body is doing a lot, and
your skin looks brighter is one reason. It's also hormonal

(04:17):
changes of course, higher levels of estrogen and progesterone all that.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Maybe I'm looking for the wrong things because I would
think to me, the glow is just walking around on
cloud nine all the time. Oh no, that's a physical glow.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, yeah, it's the skin, it's not the attitude, all right.
Higher body temperature, you definitely have a higher body temperature
when your body is doing all of that.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
It's an amazing thing you hear that.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
But once you've been pregnant, gone through a pregnancy, you know,
you know, recovered from a pregnancy, and your life goes on,
you realize, whoa I did that that happened to me?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
You always said you felt like a furnace, Judy.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Oh my god, so much.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
And you.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Don't even have to say that.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Anyway, So next time you see a pregnant woman, don't
say anything about it, but see if maybe you can
pick up on that. Now, Sam, it's a beautiful real thing.
Parents who use humor in everyday life, in parenting, not constantly,
but in parenting have better relationships with their kids. I mean,

(05:29):
let that sit for a moment, and you know that
it's true. You realize that families that can laugh together
can get through things.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
And that's really true for anything in life though, right,
I mean.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
True workplaces as well.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, sense of humor will help you get through just
about anything.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
And you know, to me, the thing that comes to
mind is dad and dad jokes, because for example, just
the other day, a few bit days ago, the four
of us Me, Murphy, Taylor, and Phoebe got into the
car and went on a road trip to see some family.
And I might as when he starts doing the dad
joke thing, Murphy, when you start doing it, I might

(06:06):
as well be invisible. And that's fine because that's so funny.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Did another one.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
You're part of the it's the four of us, one
of becoming part of the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Look at me. I accept it. It's just the way
it is. I really do accept it.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
In fact, truth be told, when you and I first
were dating and I was getting to.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Know you, you making.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Me laugh was a huge part of your game, huge part.
So with the kids, it is the same, Thank you
very much. Yeah, it used to work on me and
now I'm like, okay.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
So the girls still laugh at his dad jokes?

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Are you kidding me? They love it, They live for it.
I think it makes them feel young again too.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Well that and honestly they jump right in. You know
what I'm saying that they know how to keep that
joke running.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
For a while.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, but have you ever thought about that, sam as
a family, families who can laugh together. You know, it's
a better relationship with your kids if you can make
them laugh.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah. I'm finding nowadays with Maddie and Parker, the dad
jokes don't go over so well. Well, I think I
may have gone too far to the too many times
in the well, if you know what I mean. Or
maybe they were the same jokes or just just the
old they expect that response from dad.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
It maybe though understand their age, they're in college right now.
It's more about where they are because they're going to
come back around to wanting that from you.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
You're right, because Sammy and Will being thirty and thirty five,
they enjoy it that.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's about where they are, not where you are. You're
probably not changing at this point, you think anyway, no
pressure to be funny if you're not naturally funny, but
as you can, if you can laugh as a family,
you know, and lot.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
A little self deprecation, any of those things go along way.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Unfortunately, out of two parents, one is going to be funnier.
Don't fight for the beat, because if you're not the
funny one, maybe you're the you know, more emotional one,
or the one who buys them makeup.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
You're the one with the head on their shoulders. I
think you're funny too, Joe.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, fine, Dad on the way, By the way, we
welcome them at all times. Eight seven seven three one
zero four MSJ. We were talking about the pregnancy glow earlier,
the fact that Murphy can spot it, you know, anywhere,
and you've never seen it.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Sam, I've never seen it.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
It's a real thing that happens there. It's really in
the skin.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
And the women who are pregnant, you know, they have
a glow because of their medical reasons, like you know,
increased blood flow, increased hormonal changes.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
You know, your body is doing a lot and it shows.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
And I would have never thought that would be that.
I see it mostly in the face when I see it.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, and you think it's magic, but it's actually medical.
Although pregnancy is magic. But talking about that reminds me
of the best nutrition advice I ever received. And it
was the first time that I was pregnant, all those
years ago, Murphy, and I wanted to just throw it
out there because you know, you always, throughout your life
you have these periods of I'm gonna eat right, I'm

(08:57):
gonna eat clean, and I'm gonna take you know, and
it feels good, and then you have cheese fries and
ry football season. But it's okay to correct, you know.
You always go off the rails a little bit then correct.
And anytime I've ever tried to correct, I always remember
what my obg y N told me when I was
first pregnant. First of all, I was really I cared

(09:18):
so much about what I put in my body when
I was pregnant, took better care of myself. And I
think a lot of you become a mother as soon
as you learn that you're pregnant, you know, and that's
the nutrition matters. It matters, So she said, I asked,
it was asking her about what to eat what not
to eat.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
I was so concerned.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
She was like, Jody, just as often as you can
eat things in their not eat something in its natural form.
It's better for you to eat an apple instead of
apple sauce because that's processed. You know, eat fresh bread
instead of you know, bagged bread or mass produced bread, or.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Eat potato chips and not pringles.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
No no, no, no no, or eat a potato.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
And that made so so much sense, Like, if it's natural,
your body knows what to do with it. If it's
processed and it has all the words you can't pronounce,
it's harder on your body. And the last thing you
want for your body when your pregnant is forth things
to be hard on it.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, true, And I just I need to tell.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Her that the next time I see her, my obgyan
that like that advice that she gave me in my
first trimester of my first pregnancy stays stuck. Such good stuff.
Bring us your dad jokes. And by the way, it's
okay if mom drops them two our kid. They're called
dad jokes because normally the cheesier they are, they originate with.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
Die because Dad's the only one to give those jokes.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Correct eight seven seven three one zero four msj And
by the way, the reason we bring it up and
bring it in is that it's proven now research all
of that that if you can joke with your kids
when raising them, families that you know, laugh together, dad jokes, whatever,
you have a better relationship with your kids.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
You need it. You need humor to get through life.
We all do.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Morning, Brittany, good morning.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
I had a dad joke.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
It's ah, why did the broken pencil leave work? Why
did the broken pencil leave work? Huh yeah, I don't know,
because it was pointless to be there. There you go.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Stop.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
That was awful, great, I love it. You're welcome. I
have one more if that's okay, because it's my daughter's
favorite one.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
And if I didn't do it, sure, all right?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Not not?

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Who's there? Nobody, nobody?

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Who ah get Okay. She'll be like, oh my gosh,
did you get it? Did you get it? Yeah? That's all.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's a whole other level for a girl like that.
Yeah yeah, yeah, she's six. Look out then look out right.
We'll have a good day at work.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
I love that, you know, And it doesn't have to
be just cracking jokes. It's just basic levity. You know
what I mean, not taking everything too seriously, knowing that
you know, some things can be light and fun. I
think that's good for anything in life, not not just
it is.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
If you don't have jokes, that doesn't mean you cannot
have laughter in your family. In fact, maybe it's a
more important skill to teach, to learn to laugh at yourself.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Yeah, you know, you mean jokes like why can't dogs
operate MRI machines? Oh so, okay, I didn't know you don't.
I don't know the answer to that, but I know
cats can.

Every adult remembers their favorite teacher.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
You tell us about yours, you can call, You can
send it to us on Facebook or Instagram. This one
came in on Facebook from Rachel. My all time favorite
teacher was Tanya Darby. She was my teacher all through
high school. She taught me algebra and calculus. Even when
she wasn't teaching us the book knowledge, she was teaching
how to be a better human. She was always present

(13:23):
for all of her students. She never acted like she
had favorites. She probably did, but she is well I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Maybe she didn't.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Maybe she was as perfect as Rachel was speaking her. Okay,
she never acted like she had favorites. She was your
biggest cheerleader in life and one of the best humans
that I know. And I'm blessed that I now call
her a friend.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Oh wow, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
That's big, so big Jamie Lynn sent this.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Wow spears.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
No, this Jamie Lynn is just as important to me.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
This is Jamie Lynn is just as important. Mine was
my third grade teacher, Miss Ashcraft. She brought learning to
life when she read us books. She took us on
an adventure and made us become part of the story.
She is the reason I still love to read.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's pretty innovative, totally really cool.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Such a light in this world. She will never know
the impact she had on me and has on me
to this day. Oh well, you just put it out
into the world there a little bit, Jamie Lynn.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Love it.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
What about you, Murphy, You got one favorite teacher?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah? Actually, and I love a lot of my teachers.
But John Dobbs, who I've mentioned here before, mentored to
me and I knew him well into his late eighties
in the early nineties. I was blessed to be able
to still have a relationship with him because he was
the one that really opened the door for me to
do what we do here today.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Oh he's to blame.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, and he was a high school radio teacher.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, that's so cool.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Kelly also sent this in I didn't have a good
foundation in math. It caused me anxiety, certainly not alone there,
fast forward to algebra one in high school was the best.
When someone helps you get over a hump in life,
that's also huge.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Keep it coming. We love hearing from you. Social media
connect I love hearing from you there.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
You can also email us at Murphy Samonjody dot com.
And remember, guys, we started the show yesterday with Marissa,
who was grateful to start the week letting us know
that she's starting to she's pursuing her bachelor's degree.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
At the age of twenty six.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Very cool.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
But we were like, hey, well in what you know
question Mark, So she emailed us again. Hey guys, it's
Marissa again. Bachelor's degree at twenty six. I'm going to
school for art.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Oh cool.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
I've always been an artist, but what got me to
realize art is truly My passion was after selling custom
watercolor dog portraits for a couple of years while working
a job that wasn't a good fit for me. It
was the love and appreciation my customers showed for the
paintings that hold me. This is what's right for me. Oh, no, kidding,

(16:05):
who doesn't.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
That's really where art meets business.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
That's great, totally.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
You know.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I was doing yoga a couple of weeks ago with
a lady next to me, and you know, you either
speak with that person a little bit or you don't.
And we started getting to know each other, and by
the end of it we were done and we were sweating,
and it's like, what do you do? And she told
me that she's she paints for weddings. She captures a
couple's wedding day. Yes, she begins at the wedding and

(16:35):
then she does all of her finishing touches at home
in the next few weeks, and then when the couple
gets home from the honeymoon or whatever, she has it completed. Yeah,
and I saw some of her work incredible, you know,
I just you know, Marissa, go for it. But whenever
it's funny whenever you know, you do something that you
love that much for a business, it can kind of

(16:55):
hurt too, right if your passion also is attached to
a paycheck.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh, if it's something that you want up having to do.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
And yeah, just because yeah, anyway, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
I would hope that, you know, especially in the art world,
as long as it doesn't stifle her creativity and she's
able to work at her own pace, yes, that it
will still fuel itself.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Good luck going back to school. That is so so cool.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah, and she followed up with us because we asked
where what the major was? So now do we need
another follow up to get a couple of pictures.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Want to know how it's going.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
I want to see what one of the watercolors I know.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Send it on Murphysamon Jody dot com. Also on our
Facebook page. We were talking about all adults remembering their
first teacher. Charles sent this Miss Finley. She followed me
all through the Navy. I love that woman. Let me
remind you I was probably the most unruly one she had,
but I learned a lot from her. The unruly kids
sometimes get the most attention. Yeah, and it's because they

(17:46):
need it.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Keep it coming.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
We love hearing from you. If you've ever been mad
at yourself for getting sucked into something that took your
time that you weren't planning to do. Right there with you,
right there with you. This doesn't happen to me all
the time. I manage my time.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well you do, how very good?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Ever, I clicked open Netflix yesterday afternoon and I thought.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Oh, the Lacy Peterson documentary. Uh, you know, I know
it's a few episodes. Let me give it a shot.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yeah, this morning. I've had missing persuit cases before, but
this one was bigger already.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's been a while since we all were captivated by this,
and and so I started watching it. And it's about
three hours long. Because it's three episodes. Guess how much
time I spent with it yesterday? Three hours? Did you
really from start to finish? Now, I did full clothes
while watching it. I walk the dogs in between. But

(18:49):
three hours.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
I was gonna say, I don't know how you walked
the dog during it? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah, watching on the phone. You know I didn't follow
this case when he came out. I did, and I
saw this on Netflix, and it's.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
You don't care.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
I started and spent three hours.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Exactly for anyone who doesn't know this case, reset it
for you. Lacy Peterson was eight months pregnant when she
disappeared on like Christmas Eve, and then her husband, who
was the.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Early two thousands, it's been about twenty.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Years, right, and she he would not really cooperate with
you know, authorities, and he seemed so suspicious all along,
and they were all these It was just such a
It captured the whole country's, the world's attention. I think
the Christmas thing. I think the fact that she was pregnant.
You know that they seemed so happy, normal, whatever.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
So did the documentary give you anything new to anything
that you didn't know?

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Well, you forget things from twenty years ago. I mean
I forget things from two days ago. But I never realized.
I guess I always assumed that investigators sort of found
Amber Fry and you know.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
The mistress and other women pushed.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Her or in front of the media, not the case.
She realized what was going on, and she was brave
enough to come out and say, look, this is what's
going on. Maybe I can help you because I want
to do this for Lacey and that child.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
I thought that was and she's a part of the
documentary too.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, a big part just sucked in Goodbye three Hours.
Tomorrow is Grateful Friday, and that means you let us
know about what's going on in your life, that you
are grateful for anything little or big eight seven seven
three one zero four MSJ and you can get a

(20:36):
jump on it today.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
So I have an idea for an icebreaker for conversation.
It could be whether you're at a party or whether
you're in a work setting with a bun. You know,
a group that just getting together. Amazing, you need this.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
I got a few Sam needs this.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Someone suggested that when we go around the table and
say something about ourselves that no one would know. This
is a group that knows each other. But it's a
bus this you know, it was a business gathering that
and so you know, you could see, you could see
everybody's mind's kind of wrong and what would what would be?
So one person, one person has has applied for every

(21:14):
single reality TV show she could ever apply. She's never
been accepted, but it doesn't stop her from doing that. Wo,
which is kind of fun. That's she's got a fascination
with reality TV show.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
That's so that's so cute. What a good Icebreaker, you're right.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, yeah, another guy who is it and you know
tech actually sang at Carnegie Hall. Oh when he was
in college he had the opportunity to sing at call
it Carnegie Hall. My god, that's pretty cool. But and
one of my favorites was somebody who previously had worked
for a post the stereo company, and he was the

(21:48):
guy that was in charge of making Cocoa crispies.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh my god, it was yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
And he would actually get Coco Crispy boxes for a
dollar if you wanted.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Looks like that's a deal that isn't for me.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
I was like, I know, not to discredit anybody that's
saying at Carnegie Hall, but making Coco Christy that's cool.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (22:10):
This is so cool a proof that you Murphy Management,
Murphy can still learn new tricks along the way, because
I think you did to bring this to our next meeting.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
What was your What was yours?

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Murphy, Murph?

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Mine was that I was interviewed by Larry King when
I was a kid.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Oh yeah, we seem sam and I knew.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
That it's not so exciting.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Thanks thanks, Thanks.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Social Media connect. We love hearing from you, and I
mean it on Instagram, on Facebook, on YouTube. You can
email us at Murphy Samon Jody.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Dot com and I'll forget you in textas too.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
To eight seven seven three one zero four MSJ to
do that. I shared a personal keep the Wow online
this week how I came to be with you guys,
you know, speak up, let people know.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
What you want.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
My story is literally that you guys were looking for
a few email to join the show, and you know
sort of you know.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
And nobody applied, but you not true? Why who wants
to hang out with these guys?

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yet somehow convinced you to marry.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
So I guess that was that was completely separate from work, Murphy.
Let's not cloud the story here, but the story being
that you guys, I overheard that you were going to
be auditioning, you know, a female, but you wanted one
who had previous show experience, which I did not have any.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
But I knew we had chemistry.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
So the story is that I stepped into your office
on a Thursday afternoon and I said, Murphy, I think
that you should give me a shot, and you probably some.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Jack Daniels, Oh not that kind of shot.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Anyway, I auditioned the next Monday, and I never left.
I never left the chair. The rest is history and
I was just sharing that as I keep the wow story.
And John sent this, like, so glad Murphy gave you
the shot. I would never be a fan if it
wasn't for the three of you as one with Sam
Sham and.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
I weren't fans of us before it was the story
of us with Sam.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Your work husband, and Murphy your actual husband, the show
wouldn't be what it is ten years and still listening
for John.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Isn't that sweet?

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Stephen says, I chuckle every time you tell this story.
I love the hood spot.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
And Donna says, the only missed opportunity is the one
we don't take.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
Oh that's cool.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Did you want to move on to guys some dad
jokes since we're dropping the sure, Jessica says, why did
the bald guy still have a comb.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Because he couldn't part with it?

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Oh, did you get it? Hearts his hair right?

Speaker 4 (24:47):
She said.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
She sent us that because we've been talking about how
laughter is an important part of the family element children who.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Show if you use humor while raising your children, they
will feel closer to you.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
What did the drummer names and daughters?

Speaker 3 (25:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Anna one, Anna two.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Keep it coming. We love having you along. When you
are unconscious and well, what's.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Funny Sam's picturing and thinking anything from passing out from
too much alcohol.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
No, no, no, no, I'm sorry, cartoon.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Brains run wildly, man, Okay, Well, when you're unresponsive.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Just the word is.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
This is a new studying, and I think it's fascinating
that most people are if you're talking to someone and
they're like unresponsive or unconscious, their brain is trying to respond.
Their brain might be answering questions inside.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Okay, so you mean medically unconscious? Is that what you mean?

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Like, yes, okay, I.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Don't mean from a too much party.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Well, so they've tried to you know, they've tried to
prove that or say that for years with the like
persons utter in coma's back, you know what's going on in.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
There, of course, constantly studied. I will never forget this.
I'm gonna say this. When my grandmother was very, very
sick in the last days of her life. She died
of cancer, and she was on some serious pain medicine
and sleeping a ton. I remember walking into the room
and her best friend was there, Miss Ruby, her best friend,

(26:23):
and she she and I started talking, and she was
speaking loudly because she was like, I want her to
hear us. And if anyone came into the room and
said anything sort of negative or glom or too, Miss
Ruby would start shaking her head and she'd come and
she'd bring us out into the hall set and whisper.
The last thing to go is the she could hear you,
even though it doesn't seem like she can.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
What if she can hear you?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:45):
And I was like, Miss Ruby, no wonder you are
her best friend? Yeah, but yeah, say that.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
The new study finds that most people are actually responding
in their brains if a doctor's there.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Going do you need anything? Or do you know who's here?
Do you know what day it is? Even if they.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Can physically physically respond, the brain can still be going.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
And you need to know that.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I wonder if it's frustrating that too, because if you
can't make the physical response, but in your mind you're
hearing that.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
The patients in the study were given brain scans while
they were seemingly unconscious, and doctors found that a quarter
of them were performing activities in their heads. So the
brain you've still almost always still going. Which one of
you is asking about getting a blank fortune cookie?

Speaker 4 (27:34):
I got one?

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, Sam got a blank one that only happened to
me once a long time ago. Okay, it was actually
a very lucky day.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
What did we what did we decide?

Speaker 2 (27:42):
A blank fortune cookie means that you write it yourself.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
I googled it. Did two things. Number one, fate hasn't
decided yet for you, so it's a blank page. The
other one is it's your choice to write your own
blah blah blah ah.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
So that's like the mythical sort of Yeah, it's not
that actually just misprinted.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Or it's a piece of paper and a cookie that
means nothing, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Okay, so it was you Sam that got that.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeap Leslie sent this to Murphysamonjodi dot com. Fortunecookie from
a dead husband question mark. Our custom is to ask
a question and open the fortune cookie for the answer.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Shortly after my husband passed away, I went with friends
to a Chinese restaurant that he and I often went to.
I chose my cookie and missing him dearly. His name
was Cliff. I asked it, when will I see my
husband again? I cracked open the cookie and gasps when
I gasped when I read the fortune, it said, the

(28:44):
one you love is closer than you think.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Ooh.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
I have kept that lovely fortune in a small frame
on my dresser for the last twenty one years. Coincidence,
I don't think so. But even if it was a
coincidence coincidence, I still find it very comforting.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
I had to share that with you.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
It was so sweet.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, that's and you know, you keep those sort of
things for your own comfort.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Do you keep something because I have like three or
four on my fridge.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
I mean I do.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
I don't know that I've ever kept a fortune cookie,
but I kept some something that someone wrote to me
on a sticky note once. It was our friend Chris
that we worked for. He was one of our first bosses.
He was the boss that we had to go to
Murphy and say, hey, we want to get married.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Can we still work together?

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Huh? Huh?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Can we?

Speaker 3 (29:37):
He wrote?

Speaker 2 (29:38):
He gave me a little sticky note that had his
motto on it.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
I can't remember that.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
I see it stuck.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Do you remember.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
He gave me that?

Speaker 2 (29:53):
As a matter of confidence, and I kept it because
I admired him. Obviously, not enough to remember them right anyway,
Thank you Leslie for that beautiful email.
